Ye Tianfan took the opportunity to swallow a few Healing Elixirs, followed by a few pills to replenish his Spiritual Power.

Afterwards, Ye Tianfan summoned the Xuanlong Seal to shield himself and the Chuanchuan Bird below, hoping to ease some of the bird's burden.

However, the effect was poor. After only blocking twice, Ye Tianfan's Spiritual Power was completely depleted, so he continued to take pills to shield the Chuanchuan Bird from some of the damage.

At that moment, out of nowhere, a dark brown fireball shot over. As soon as Ye Tianfan saw the fireball, he immediately felt a sense of danger rush to his head.

This flame seemed to come from hell, making anyone feel incapable of surviving with just one glance at it.

The oncoming dark brown fireball and the high-temperature breath made Ye Tianfan panic, even though he didn't know if the fireball had other abilities, the blurred space around it due to the heat already suggested that its power was definitely not weak.

As the scorching breath got closer, Ye Tianfan felt an intense heat, and this heat wasn't just felt physically — it seemed to pierce the soul.

Ye Tianfan gritted his teeth at this time, nearly crying out from the heat, while the Chuanchuan Bird remained silent because it had Ye Tianfan in its beak.

At this moment, the resilience of the Chuanchuan Bird was remarkable. Ye Tianfan didn't expect that in his most desperate moment, the bird he had fed once would be the one to save him.

Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say at this point.

Not long after, the Chuanchuan Bird flew Ye Tianfan out of the range of the Volcano of the Dead amidst countless attacks, but by then, the man and beast were in bad shape. Ye Tianfan was covered in burns, his Spiritual Power nearly depleted, leaving him only a few pills to replenish the dribbling Spiritual Power.

The Chuanchuan Bird was in even worse condition, with half of one wing missing, one claw gone, and its feathers mostly singed.

Once the Chuanchuan Bird flew Ye Tianfan out of the Volcano of the Dead, it immediately plummeted!

Ye Tianfan quickly summoned his Flying Sword, floating precariously on it, while holding onto the Chuanchuan Bird to prevent it from falling.

Yet the Chuanchuan Bird was too heavy, making it difficult for Ye Tianfan to hold on, as he had little strength left.

Nevertheless, Ye Tianfan still managed to hold on to the Chuanchuan Bird.

Ye Tianfan slowly descended to the ground with the Chuanchuan Bird, and fortunately, there were no other Demon Beasts on the ground. After placing the bird on the ground, he began to examine its injuries. What he found was alarming; the Chuanchuan Bird was nearly at death's door.

Ye Tianfan hurriedly gave it a few Healing Elixirs to prevent its condition from worsening.

Although Ye Tianfan's medical skills were high in his past life, they were for treating humans, not birds. However, Taichu Sect's Taiyi Peak had a type of medical practice specifically for treating Demon Beasts.

The best Ye Tianfan could do now was to quickly bring the Chuanchuan Bird back to the Taichu Sect so the brothers of Taiyi Peak could take a look.

Ye Tianfan summoned the Xuanhuang Tower and placed the Chuanchuan Bird inside, ensuring it was not too close to the mysterious stone there. He placed the bird at the edge of the tower to help slow its injuries.

Then, Ye Tianfan quickly took a few pills to replenish his Spiritual Power, and swiftly headed towards the Taichu Sect.

Ye Tianfan aimed to return to the Taichu Sect as quickly as possible. When he came here, it took him over ten days of flying, starting from Po Sea. The trip from the Taichu Sect to Po Sea took several days, meaning that flying back to the Taichu Sect would take more than half a month.

However, Ye Tianfan's current strength had changed drastically compared to before; now he could fly much faster. Previously, he hadn't been flying at full speed, so he felt confident that the return trip time could be cut in half.

Ye Tianfan planned to reach the sect within ten days. Although he had kept the Chuanchuan Bird alive with Healing Elixirs and used the Xuanhuang Tower to slow its injuries, whether he could keep this up for ten days depended on the bird's own fate.

Ye Tianfan immediately summoned the Xiaoyao Sword and rushed towards the Taichu Sect at full speed. As his Spiritual Power dwindled, he consumed more pills, paying no heed to the consumption, while healing his wounds during full-speed flight.

For superficial wounds, recovery was straightforward, and Ye Tianfan hadn't suffered any internal injuries, nor was he poisoned. The only issue was that his meridians were slightly damaged from the rapid flow of Spiritual Power, but this wouldn't affect him too much — recovering over time would fix it.

Of course, returning at full speed wasn't entirely smooth; there were some bird-like Demon Beasts blocking his path. But Ye Tianfan used the Fire Lotus Sword to pave the way, killing some with a single strike. Others, he couldn't kill immediately, simply followed or harassed, but couldn't catch up with him.

Thus, Ye Tianfan managed to shake off all those Demon Beasts cleanly.

So, Ye Tianfan flew for a full nine days without eating, drinking, or resting for even a second. Every day, he would extend his Divine Sense into the Xuanhuang Tower to check on the Chuanchuan Bird's condition. Luckily, although the injuries were deepening, Ye Tianfan had managed to slow this process significantly.

Ye Tianfan calculated that from his current location, he had only half a day's journey back to the Taichu Sect. Considering the time to enter Taichu Sect and reach Taiyi Peak, plus finding a brother to review the situation, it would take roughly another half day — totaling a full day's journey.

Fortunately, with the bird's current injury progression, they would make it to Taiyi Peak before it worsened fully.

Realizing this, Ye Tianfan sighed with great relief, though this moment of peace almost caused him to fall. By now, Ye Tianfan was running on empty, with only two pills left for replenishing his Spiritual Power. These few pills wouldn't be enough to sustain him until reaching the Taichu Sect, and currently, his meridians were already badly damaged; full recovery would require three to five months of rest.

Nonetheless, Ye Tianfan didn't dwell on these matters. While flying, he was also recovering his Spiritual Power. Every bit of recovery equaled a bit more distance, thus reducing the time needed to recover once the pills ran out.
